  • the springs 336 may be configured as springs with variable diameters. One side of a smaller inner diameter of one spring with a variable diameter is in contact with one side of a smaller inner diameter of the other spring with a variable diameter. A tension force generated by the spring 336 makes a frictional force of rotation of the rotation shaft 332 relative to the fixing member 310 increase.
  • One hinge is disposed close to one side of the remote control body 100
  • the other hinge is disposed close to the other side of the remote control body 100 .
  • the rotation shaft 332 rotates clockwise, and drives the fixing block 331 and the limiting block 334 to rotate clockwise, and the fixing block 331 rotates to drive the display assembly 200 to rotate.
  • the abutting portion 3341 moves towards a direction away from the stopping block 321 .
  • the rotation shaft 332 rotates anticlockwise, and the limiting block 334 also rotates anticlockwise.
  • the abutting portion 3341 moves towards a direction close to the stopping block 321 .
  • the abutting portion 3341 abuts against the stopping block 321 .
  • a rotation angle between the display assembly 200 and the remote control body 100 is approximate to a rotation angle of the rotation shaft 332 . Further, by using a plane where the remote control body 100 is located as a reference plane, the rotation angle between the rotation shaft 332 and the fixing block 331 ranges between ⁇ 5 degrees and 150 degrees.
  • the remote control body 100 is provided with at least one of a joystick assembly 110 or a knob assembly 140 .
  • the joystick assembly 110 includes a joystick bracket 111 and a joystick 112 .
  • the joystick bracket 111 is fixed in the remote control body 100 .
  • the joystick 112 is rotatably connected to the joystick bracket 111 and the joystick 112 stretches out of a surface, which is closed with the display assembly 200 , of the remote control body 100 .
  • the joystick assembly 110 has a function of performing remote control on an unmanned aerial vehicle corresponding to the remote control 400 .
  • the knob assembly 140 includes a knob handle 141 and a knob 142 .
  • the knob handle 141 is fixed in the remote control body 100 .
  • the knob 142 is rotatably connected to the knob handle 141 , and the knob 142 protrudes out of a side of the remote control body 100 .
  • the unmanned aerial vehicle includes a pan-tilt-zoom (not shown in the figure) carrying a camera.
  • the knob assembly 140 has an attitude angle that performs remote control on the pan-tilt-zoom, carrying the camera, of the unmanned aerial vehicle corresponding to the remote control 400 .
  • the attitude angle includes one or a combination of more of a pitch angle, a translation angle, or a roll angle.
  • joystick assemblies 110 or knob assemblies 140 there may be at least two joystick assemblies 110 or knob assemblies 140 .
  • an embodiment of the present application further provides a flying apparatus 800 .
  • the flying apparatus 800 includes an unmanned aerial vehicle 600 and the foregoing remote control 400 , the remote control 400 being configured to perform remote control on the unmanned aerial vehicle 600 .
  • the remote control 400 includes a remote control body 100 and a display assembly 200 , the display assembly 200 including a display screen 210 and being rotatably connected to the remote control body 100 , so that the remote control 400 has its own display screen 210 .
  • the display screen 210 can be seen by turning the display assembly 200 open, and the operation is relatively convenient.
  • the display assembly 200 is closed, so that the space needed for packing the remote control 400 is relatively small, facilitating carriage of the remote control 400 .
  • the remote control body 100 is disposed separate from the display screen 210 , so that an operation region and a display region do not affect each other, and the display area of the display screen 210 can be configured larger, thereby improving the visual experience of a user.
